Happy Thanksgiving from TWIS!

Dear Readers,

Before our team takes a much-deserved break for the Thanksgiving holiday, we need to tell you how thankful we are to every one of you.

When each article goes live throughout the week, time and time again your interest, enthusiasm and support confirm for us why we're doing what we do. We love our community. We love to showcase its best, and to talk about how to make it better.

Thank you for joining us in that dialogue---for swapping fashion and style tips with PREEN & CHIC. For showing up at meetings and debating our city's big issues with Anthony Paull and Joe Hendricks. For flexing your SRiQ. For sharing many a delicious meal with Jack Littman-Quinn, Judi Gallagher and The Dining Diva at their favorite local eateries. For adventuring far and wide (and relatively near, as well) with Matt Orr and Jessi Smith. For uniting, exploring and getting to know your community with April Doner and Amanda Landesberg. For catching a show with Bonnie Greenball Silvestri and Tyler Whitson. For giving Kirsten Sponseller the scoop on weekend happenings, and catching what you missed with Emarie and Petr Marcan. For liking, commenting and sharing. Every time we hear from you it makes our day, and it makes you a very important part of This Week in Sarasota. 

We are also very thankful for what's coming up next: We're not just taking a short vacation to stuff our faces and sprawl out on couches; we're also putting the final touches on a brand new website design! We look forward to sharing the new "look" of TWIS very soon, which we hope will dramatically enhance your experience as a reader and make TWIS more interactive and engaging than ever. Be excited, be very excited ...

Once again, thank you for supporting This Week In Sarasota. From the whole team, we send our best wishes to you and yours for a warm and wonderful holiday.

Yours in gratitude and sweet potato pie (with marshmallows),

Sara Moone, Managing Editor
